Believe the 1-star reviews — I wish we had.
Absolutely NOTHING.

This is, without hesitation, the worst review I have ever left for a business.
Before booking with this company, please do yourself a favour: read the other 1-star reviews. There are around 10 of them. BELIEVE THEM. I wish we had. And don't be fooled by all the nice photos of the campers online. What we actually found looked more like a scrapyard than a professional camper rental business. The company repeatedly promotes its vehicles as being in excellent condition. That was absolutely NOT our experience.
Our alternator broke down IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR TRIP. And that was far from the only problem. The reversing camera was broken. The fuel cap/cover didn't even fit properly on the van. The fridge was advertised as operating on 12V, 240V and gas, but the gas function didn't work. Several things were simply broken, defective or not in the condition you would expect from a vehicle advertised as being so well maintained.
Mechanical problems can happen. But when you add all of these issues together, it becomes very difficult to accept the claim that these vehicles are kept in "excellent condition." But the condition of the camper wasn't even the worst part of our experience. The man we dealt with was EXTREMELY rude, dismissive and showed a complete lack of empathy. We tried to resolve the situation directly with him, but his attitude only made an already terrible experience worse.
We eventually contacted Booking.com for assistance. Booking.com attempted to contact him regarding our complaint, and according to the information we received, he NEVER responded to them.
Based on the responses I've seen to other negative reviews, I fully expect a response to this one questioning or trying to discredit what I'm saying.
But these aren't things you simply make up. This was OUR experience, and future customers deserve to know about it.
READ THE 1-STAR REVIEWS.
BELIEVE THEM.
We should have.

We were prepared for an older "retro" vehicle but it's unacceptable that its unsafe and unhygienic
The owner was friendly and responded to messages quickly in advance of our trip. He returned our deposit in a timeous manner. Camper was fuel efficient.
The campervan was old and decrepid. The back seat had only a lap seatbelt which Iater read is illegal for children in Ireland. The headlights didn't work when we tried to turn them on, the pop-up tent leaked meaning we had to spend the last night in a bnb. The company advertised a fully-equipped kitchen but there was a patchy assortment of crockery and pots in dirty drawers and cutlery and we would have had to pay an extra 90 euros for a small gas bottle, which wasn't included. The beds were extremely uncomfortable with dirty, stinky cushions which clearly hadnt been washed in a very long time. They also moved apart when we lay down as there's nothing connecting them. The engine of the car was so noisy we couldn't hear each other talk.
This is a very old, barely-serviced vehicle which is very hard to drive. It's a safety hazard and the company offers very poor support: you're only supposed to text questions between 10-4 on week days. There's also a very perfunctory video explaining the van which doesn't set you up for success.
There are many suspicious 10-star reviews giving an inaccurate view of this company which has been operating below-standard vans for years.
Well equipped and very comfortable for our journeys

We had such a brilliant experience with Retro Camper Hire that we’ve already booked our return trip for July — and we honestly can’t wait.
The camper was spotless, comfortable, and full of character, and the whole experience from start to finish was effortless. It felt like proper slow-down, switch-off, make-memories time.
If that wasn’t enough of a recommendation, the fact that we’ve booked again says it all. Highly recommended — roll on July! 🚐✨
